Although I have both, Jamma doesn't load here. Pd sits still trying to
load it for a while, then crashes. With "-loadbang" it gets a bit
farther and once displayed the Jama, but then it crached anyways.

I don't have an 8-channel soundcard, though, so I might not be
supposed to be able to run it, because the requirements aren't met.

Without being able to test Jamma, I can only guess, but using a lot of vu's 
and standard number boxes is bad for performance. Using vu inside a
graph-on-parent patch makes things exponentially worse, so never do
that.
